So, how many hours of sleep are you managing to get these days? I'm noticing a lot of us over 40 seem to be running on fumes and caffeine. Is that something you're dealing with? If so, what do you think's keeping you up, and have you found anything that helps?

8 hours at minimum. But let me clarify that it took discipline, boundaries and intention.

I get 7-8hrs a night. I’ve had to get pretty tight with my days to do that. Sunday is the only time I don’t wake up early. Below is pretty much my carbon copy day.

5:30am wake up
5:30-5:50 coffee/ shake off the cob webs
5:50-6 cold plunge
6-7 workout
7-7:20 get ready for the day
7:15/7:30 kid wakes and family time
8:30-5:30 work
5:30-8:30 cook dinner, family fun, put kiddo down
8:30/8:45- 9:30 any additional work or just get prepped for the next day
9:30 in bed reading for 30-60 min. Take magnesium threonate as I wind down
Asleep 10/10:30pm

Try magnesium glycinate — it’s much better.

I’ve been living on about 6 hours of sleep most nights. I think it’s a mix of work demands and just trying to keep up with life, but I’ve noticed my mind racing at night. I’ve started a no-tech rule 30 minutes before bed, which has made a slight difference.

7 hours a night. 10 hours a day in total if you include naps during meetings.

I shoot for 8. Realized that I needed to focus on quality over quantity of working hours. Think we have all been in those situations where you death spiral - lack of sleep makes you dumber, which makes you work longer, which makes you sleep less, etc etc.

5 or less hours; but what makes it worse is that there is little consistency. The mix of work, travel and personal life demands is overwhelming.

5-6 hours/night but have struggled with sleep since I was little. I have just accepted it.

8-9. Sleeping is my super power.

I'm a bad sleeper but that's the only limitation most of the time

I am a light sleeper. So I have to be in bed for 8 hours to get 7 hours of solid sleep. I am heavily caffeinated and am also on antianxiety meds.

Before the age of 40, I had way more energy. Now, my routine is important to me.

5 and I take magnesium glycerinate. I wake up around 3:30/4:00am almost like clock work after going to sleep around 10-11PM and then drink camomile to get a few more hours of rest. I work remote so have that luxury but I’m in HR/Recruiting so all the stress of unknowns for the past few years doesn’t help with stress but I try to workout, eat well, etc to keep the mind at bay.

6 hours max.
Just waiting for the sweet release of a heart attack.

Hi everyone,
My company had name change recently from ABC to XYZ , this was after my h1b approval. Since this was merely a name change the attorneys confirmed that no amendment is required. All my documents (i-797a, LCA,i-129) has old name - ABC but my employee verification has new name - mentioning XYC (formerly known as ABC)
My question is - which company name should be on DS-160
Anybody faced this situation

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
